| Taste |
 |
It’s not fair to compare these pies to traditional pies because they are
void of all traditional ingredients. The filling for the blueberry pie was not
sweet and the crust was chewy and rather tasteless.
| Texture/Appearance
|
 |
The center of the blueberry pie looked great, but the crust is a caramel color
and a thick, dense texture. We found it difficult to cut through the crust in
the pie pan and it was of a rubbery texture.
| Preparation and Baking Results
|
 |
There is no preparation needed. These pies (all except the chocolate mousse)
go direct from the freezer to the oven. The pie baked according to package instructions
but was disappointing in texture and taste.
| Storage
|
 |
These pies will store for 1.5 years in the freezer.
| Availability
|
|
These pies are new and therefore not
yet widely distributed. You can purchase them through their
website, wwwl naturalfeast.com or www.glutenfreemall.com
